What was the model and age of the LG reefer? Important info. We have a 1
year old LG box, 30 cf. New style compressor, etc. Quiet as a church
mouse, RF wise.

Subject: [RFI] RFI at W9RE tracked down to neighbors LG Refrigerator
Mike (W9RE) recently asked for my assistance in tracking down some
broadband noise he was experiencing on 10 meters from his North-West which
the local power company had tried to locate at least 3 different times this
year with no success.
I went down to Mikes a few weeks ago and we located the property generating
the RFI, and then yesterday Mike and I worked with the homeowner to
identify the actual device in his neighbors house that was generating the
RFI.
I just uploaded a video onto youtube documenting this case, and folks might
find the information stating at 2:10 in the video interesting as it shows
how I use a very small loop to sniff circuit breakers in the main circuit
breaker panel to identify the suspect circuit that the device generating
RFI is located. I typically am able to identify 1 or 2 suspect circuits
using this method, and this allows us to be the least intrusive as we don't
have to kill the main breaker or turn off each breaker one at a time until
we stumble upon the correct circuit. I have now used this technique
multiple times, and each time it has been very successful.
For those interested, here is a link to my youtube video documenting this
case: https://youtu.be/vDB8rAwVt5Y
